For companies with traction

You have the traction.
We bring the team.

If your company already has paying customers, we put our in-house team into it: growth, engineering, automation and ops. We partner on the outcome instead of charging a retainer. We only win when you do.

Why this is different

How this differs from an agency

Most companies with early traction are wary of marketing agencies, and for good reason.

The old way

You pay whether it works or not

A retainer every month. A junior team learning on your budget. Billable hours as the incentive. If the campaigns fail, you paid anyway.

Our way

We partner on the outcome

Our senior team works inside your business. We partner on the outcome instead of charging fees, so our incentive is the same as yours: grow the company. We only win when you do.

How it works

A short engagement that leaves systems behind

  1. 01 · Embed

    A small team joins you

    A growth lead, an engineer, a media buyer and a creative work on your company as a top priority. The team stays small on purpose.

  2. 02 · Build

    We build the systems

    Running ads is a small part of it. We ship code, automations, retention flows and the reporting under all of it. Those assets keep working after the engagement ends.

  3. 03 · Hand over

    You keep everything

    When the engagement ends, the systems stay with you and your team runs them. Because we are partners, we stay around to help you keep growing.

What you keep

What stays with you

Everything we build is yours, and your team runs it once we step back.

Automations and internal tools

Custom tooling and AI workflows that take the manual work off your team.

Retention flows

Automated email and SMS journeys that bring customers back.

Landing-page system

Tested page templates your team can reuse for the next campaign.

Data and attribution

Reporting that shows what is working and where to spend next.

Is this you?

Who we work with

We take on few companies, because the model only works when we can move the numbers quickly.

A strong fit

  • A product people already pay for
  • Roughly $10k to $50k in monthly recurring revenue
  • A founder who moves fast and wants a long-term partner
  • Margin, and a market big enough to grow into

Not yet a fit

  • Pre-revenue ideas still looking for product-market fit
  • Someone to "just run the ads" for a fee
  • No interest in a partnership that aligns incentives
  • A one-off project
